Re: difference in scale between the stl file & print

Hmmm... Well, when I print the little 25mm hollow cube, it comes out 24.75mm on a side (every side), so it's definitely X/Y/Z scaling, and I've noticed the same scaling factor on a variety of other parts I've designed. It's very consistent... Granted, it's less than 1% off, but when I'm design press ...

Re: difference in scale between the stl file & print

Thanks, I'll give that a go. I'd say the bed is level with 0.002" or so. (i.e. no dial indicator, but it passes the "uniform-grab-on-a-sheet-of-paper" test nicely.) I assume I'll have to recalibrate the bed height after changing the arm length parameter?

Re: Print Stops Prematurely

Ah, that's excellent, I hadn't come across anything that definitively stated whether the 0.9 firmware solved the problem. I have a couple jobs I need to slog through before I can get some down-time to swap the RAMBO, recal, etc., so I'll try nudging the layer thickness. Worst-case, I'll just splice ...

Print Stops Prematurely

Hi all, I've been running the the V.0.83 firmware for some time on a Rostock MAX, with an E3D hot-end, without any trouble, but over the past couple days, the machine's been stopping, 60-90% of the way through the job. This has happened twice when streaming the job via USB (Repetier Host V0.95C ...
